Yamaha and Honda’s present disaster has led Dorna Sports to consider reviving manufacturer concessions in a bid to assist the struggling Japanese manufacturers.
However Oliveira believes groups with extra bikes ought to face restrictions, and struggling smaller groups ought to be given extra check days and tyres than these seeing success.
The RNF Aprilia rider raced below concessions at KTM, with whom he competed with at Tech3 in 2019-20 earlier than shifting as much as the manufacturing facility group for 2021-2022.
Chatting with Autosport on the British Grand Prix, he mentioned: “My opinion is we must always create a system the place, to start with you create an equal technical method into MotoGP racing.
“That begins with the variety of the bikes on the grid. I don’t assume now the championship has allowed Ducati to have eight bikes on the grid that you must take them off the grid.
“However no less than attempt to discover a steadiness, as a result of we all know monitor time is effective and if in case you have eight bikes you then get extra information than the opposite producers. It’s a matter of technique.
“I imagine that if in case you have extra bikes you would need to be way more restricted when it comes to homologations, when it comes to testing days, when it comes to who you convey to the exams and the tyres that you simply use within the exams.
“That additionally possibly applies to the producer that has two bikes. Perhaps that producer with two bikes on the grid, who’s struggling extra, possibly give them extra check days, give them extra tyres to check, extra possibilities to really convey a plan right down to get invaluable monitor time.”

Concessions had been launched in 2014 in a bid to assist steadiness the sphere and supply a larger aggressive platform for potential producers, which helped convey Suzuki, Aprilia and KTM to the grid between 2015 and 2017.
Those that ran below concessions obtained a number of advantages over non-concession producers, which on the time included Honda and Yamaha, which lined unrestricted in-season testing, a much bigger engine allocation and limitless engine improvement.
To be thought of for concessions once they had been launched in 2014, a producer both needed to have been new to the grid or had gone with no dry climate race win the earlier 12 months. Concessions had been stripped from a producer after it had amassed six concession factors in a season, which had been decided on outcomes: three for a win, two for a second and one for third.
Aprilia was the final producer to lose concessions, doing so final 12 months, with all producers in 2023 working to the identical guidelines.
Underneath the present guidelines framework, the one regulatory different for a manufacturing facility to have these concessions once more can be for none of its riders to attain a single podium within the Sunday races – one thing Honda and Yamaha has already achieved with Alex Rins’ Americas Grand Prix victory and Fabio Quartararo’s third in that race respectively.
Oliveira continued: “The concessions shouldn’t be a set topic. I feel you must acquire and lose concessions, and naturally, the way in which you have a look at it might be if you’re making a variety of factors within the races, you then would lose concessions.

“If you’re making not sufficient factors within the races, then okay possibly you give concessions to this group.
“Most likely it might create a extra honest technical chance for groups, as a result of should you don’t have check days and you have already got eight bikes, it might be fairly arduous so that you can convey an replace.
“So, I feel it might actually be matching way more.
“I’d not take the method of the concession for serving to the Japanese producers. I’d say it ought to be to make the entire class a bit bit nearer.”
